Infrared Thermal Imaging

Infrared Thermal Imaging is a powerful diagnostic tool for many applications. Infrared Thermography is also a profession requiring a skilled and properly trained thermographer for every infrared inspection to ensure the infrared data is correctly interpreted. In the absence of proper, specialized training in this scientific and highly technical field, the probability of misinterpreting data and completely overlooking problem areas is high. To ensure that your investment in an infrared inspection provides the benefits it should, it is import to ensure that you are hiring a Certified Infrared Thermographer from a recognized training provider such as Infraspection Institute.

What is Infrared Thermal Imaging?

Within the Electromagnetic Spectrum there is the Visible Light Spectrum. This is what our eyes are able to detect / see. Infrared Thermal Imaging cameras detect / see the lower frequency, lower energy, longer wavelength Infrared Spectrum and convert the data they capture into colour-gradient images that can be analyzed by a trained thermographer.

With a quality Thermal Imager, even small surface temperature variations can be detected. In the hands of a trained thermographer, this makes an Infrared Thermal Imager an exceptional non-destructive tool for locating insulation deficiencies, air infiltration, or hidden moisture in building envelopes. Thermal imaging can also be used to detect and document sub-surface moisture in flat roof systems and for locating and documenting adverse conditions in electrical installations such as loose connections or failing breakers or other components.

Each of the applications listed above can save significant time and reduce costs for commercial building owners, learning institutions, industrial facilities, and home owners. We use only high quality FLIR Infrared Cameras for all of our Infrared Inspections. FLIR is the leader in infrared technology for building diagnostics, electrical, mechanical, scientific, military, and law enforcement applications.
